Though Tina Fey may be overjoyed that she's expecting her second child, the "30 Rock" star admits she debated whether to give her daughter Alice a sibling, reports People.

"Science shows that fertility and movie offers drop off steeply for women after 40," Fey writes in her new book "Bossypants," adding that she felt "stricken with guilt and panic" that her 5-year-old was the only kid in class who didn't have a brother or sister.

Fey, who is now five months pregnant, says she would "debate the second-baby issue" whenever she couldn’t sleep and would get up and study herself in the mirror. “Do I look like someone who should be pregnant?" she'd ask. "I look good for 40, but I have the quaggy jawline and hollow cheeks of a mom, not a pregnant lady. It's now or never. This decision can't be delayed."

Ultimately, Fey decided that having another kid was more important than her career.

"What's so great about work anyway?" she writes. "Work won't visit you when you're old. Work won't drive you to get a mammogram and take you out after for soup."

Meanwhile, Fey's career shows no signs of slowing down. Besides promoting her new book and starring on "30 Rock," she's set to return to her old stomping grounds, "Saturday Night Live," to host the show on May 7, reports TV Line.

It's so sad that us women have to deal with the biological clock when it comes to our careers and our families! Men can have starring roles and get chicks pregnant 30 years younger than them. Did we get the short end of the stick?

I think Tina Fey is very funny. And if she wants to have another child at her age, more power to her. And whoever made that rude remark about Heidi Klum, you could only imagine, in your wildest dreams, that you were anywhere near as beautiful as she is. She looks incredible after all those kids. Congrats Tina, you deserve it.

@Head Diva ..your point on your link just made you out like a drunk in some bar in the wooded swam. By the way, I'm from NJ. Enjoy your jar of $7.99 wine and hunting out rich men at your bar. Whatever that is in you swamp of the woods. At least in NJ/NY Metro we still have men with class and money.

I'm not faking anything. I made it known why I was doing it in a few blogs. Maybe next time the bi**h would thing twice about bad mouthing people from other states. I'm doing it because I can and to be annoying..period! :)

Fey is smart but she has had alot of people that brazed the way for her. Which made her open that bigh mouth
and say what she wants yrs. ago she would have been put in her place. Heidi Heidi, what has happened to
you. you have gained weight lost your looks. You never were that cute anyways, but since you and steal
got together, you went down the drain.
